Week 5- So Depressing / Disgusting To Eat

Work has been so stressful lately and home life isnt much better. Came home to husband wanting to go uptown then out to eat. I took him up on it because Im too exhausted to cook. We went to a buffet thinking they would have veggies U can eat- they didn't snd the buffet was 10.97 each and would give a discount even when I showed the gastric card from my dr. I know - go somewhere you can order off menu. I tried to eat to keep from crying over my job- after about 3 bites I was so full I was nauseous. I get so sick of not being able to enjoy the only thing in this world that comforts me right now. I feel I made a mistake having the surgery znd there is no reversal. I am losing weight and grateful for it but at what price? Losing my only comfort? I am falling so far into depression. I was on antidepressants before surgery and dont want to go back on them. But I dont want to keep being embarrased over and over by ordering and not being able to do much more than lick the spoon before Im full.

What can I do to help me through this. I dont have a support group at home and I dont trust coworkers. Yes I have trust issues too. Please give me something to hang on to so to get through this. Will ut ever get better or is this my hell on earth forever?

    I agree-nothing wrong with anti-depressants and there are good therapists out there!

Your posts made me smile today. Today was another horrible day at work. I cried all lunch hour. I feel so over whelmed. My support group meet next week and I will talk to the speaker afterwards. My daughter called today, she had a wreck. She;s ok but just something else that worried me. I started back on my Welbutrin. The pills were huge so i cut them in half and took it two halves together. I hope thats ok. Anything I drank or eat today, came back up. I know its nerves. I came home, ate, vomited, came to bed and covered my head and here I stay. I hate my job so much and loved it so much last month. They have just put way more on our office than I myself can handle. I'm watching for a new opening in the university but till then have to deal with it. And I don't know how to..... All of your advice on here makes sense and I will take it to heart and try to use it. I just at this moment don't feel like Im going to make it. Not suicidal...just unsure of my every day that I wake up. Dread waking up, dread going to bed.

I'm sorry you're having a bad day. The only advice I can offer is the same as your handle. Keep looking ahead. It will get better. Enjoy the bedroom camp out.
